Words from a most improper copper coffee pot, by Tim Train

 

(Hottentottenpotentatentantenattentat - a fanciful one-word German tongue twister meaning 'assassination of a Hottentot potentate's aunt').

He drinks a proper cup of coffee,
She drinks a proper cup of coffee,
They drink a proper cup of coffee,
And talk of this and that;
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
And Hottentottenpotentatentantenattentat.

He drinks a proper cup of coffee,
She drinks a proper cup of coffee,
They drink a proper cup of coffee,
And talk a proper lot,
Of Hottentoten and of Tanten,
Of Attentat and Attentater,
Of who and why and what;

He drinks a proper cup of coffee
She drinks a proper cup of coffee
They drink a proper cup of coffee,
They drink a proper lot;
Til with a short sharp shock they see
That no-one is to stop
The Hottentottenpotentatentantenattentaterinnen
From receiving Hottentottenpotentatentantentattentaterinnenattentat.
